Subject: [gt-user] logicalHost -- when does globus decide to use hostname?
I have had a persistent problem with the globus toolkit for several years now.
The problem concerns the semantics of logicalHost. The idea of logicalHost is
that it overrides hostname. At least it should, only I haven't seen it do this
consistently in all of the years that I have been using the globus toolkit.
If I try to set the hostname to the logicalHost that I want
globus to use, even if that means breaking other systems that might have
depended on my original hostname, then globus seems to use the hostname
under which it was compiled.
Here's an example. Originally I compiled globus on a machine with
hostname grid.gc.cuny.edu. That was the hostname under which
the simpleCA was created--perhaps this is related.
I wanted the logicalHost name to be m248.gc.cuny.edu,
which refers to a different interface. The following error occurs
a) with hostname grid.gc.cuny.edu and logicalHost m248.gc.cuny.edu
b) with hostname m248.gc.cuny.edu and logicalHost m248.gc.cuny.edu
It's clear that the command /bin/hostname executes - I have the
output. Only the attempt by globus to return the output fails,
because for some reason globus expects to see grid.gc.cuny.edu as
the hostname, even though it is running on m248.gc.cuny.edu,
and that is the hostname.
